Celina Jaitly makes SHOCKING revelations about experiencing victim-blaming and sexual harassment

The Kolkata rape case has left many outraged with several celebrities raising their voices against women-related crimes and urging the government to impose stronger protocols and stringent punishments. Joining them is Celina Jaitly, former actress and UN human rights activist, who has taken to social media to pen a long note about victim blaming. The actress, who has showcased her support towards several causes including actively participating in helping the LGBTQA+ community, decided to share her own experiences and made some shocking revelations.

Celina Jaitly shares sexual harassment incidents she experienced in her teenage-hood

In a lengthy note, the former actress and mother shared detailed encounters of two instances where men cat-called her and even attempted to hurt her and how in these instances, she was told to careful because she was ‘progressive’ in her approach and was taught that ‘Women are at fault’. Sharing a photo from her childhood days, Celina wrote, “THE VICTIM IS ALWAYS AT FAULT : In this pic I was in 6th grade only when boys from a nearby university started to wait outside my school.They would follow the school rickshaw making catcalls all the way home everyday. I pretended not to notice them and few days later because of that they started throwing stones at me in the middle of the road to get my attention. Not one bystander batted an eye. I was told by a teacher : It was because I was “too westernised and did not wear loose clothes and did not tie my hair in two braids with oil it was my fault !” It was also at this age when a man first flashed his private parts to me while waiting for the school rickshaw in the morning. For many years I blamed myself for this incident which I kept to myself running the words of the teacher again and again in my mind that it was MY FAULT!”

She continued, “In 11th grade I still remember they cut the wire of my scooty’s brakes because I was not acknowledging the university boys who heckled and called me rude names & left lewd notes on my scooty. My male class mates got scared for me and told our teachers. My class teacher called me and told me “You come across as a FORWARD type of girl, riding a scooty and wearing jeans to extra classes with short open hair that’s why boys think you are of a loose character” It was always my fault. I still remember that day jumping off my scooty to save myself because of my brake wires being cut off. I was hurt badly and yet it was my fault. My Scooty was damaged… I was both physically and psychologically hurt… And I was told it was MY FAULT!”

Further, the actress also mentioned how even her grandfather – a Retired Colonel had to face repercussions of this. “My retired Colonel Grandfather who fought two wars for our country in his old age had to take to escorting me back n forth to school… I still remember those rude boys who chased me even damaging my scooty they also passed derogatory remarks on my retired colonel grandfather making fun of him. Nana stood and stared at them and then he turned away shook his head and I could read his face as he walked away with me. His disgust at the very people he laid his life on line for. It’s time to stand up and ask for our right to be protected WE ARE NOT AT FAULT !”

Tamannaah Bhatia raises voice against Kolkata Rape Case; calls India’s Independence ‘incomplete’ without the safety of women

Last week, India woke up another spine-chilling case of rape and murder of a young medical trainee in Kolkata that has sparked a nationwide outrage with doctors going on strike. Since the incident happened around August 15, many celebrities questioned the freedom and safety of women as the country celebrated another year of independence. Among them is Tamannaah Bhatia who has pointed out that such occasions are ‘incomplete’ without appropriate measures being taken to safeguard women.

Tamanaah Bhatia urges women to strive for ‘real Independence’

Joining the list of celebrities who have shared heart wrenching notes comparing the incident to several other heinous crimes against women that have been reported in the past is Tamannaah Bhatia. The actress shared a note on Friday wherein she said, “Yesterday, India completed 78 years of Independence. We commemorated bravery and sacrifice of our freedom fighters. However at the same time we were reminded yet again, that our independence is incomplete without the freedom and safety of our women. The heinous crime committed in Kolkata last week, and countless others that continue to happen every day, are constant reminders of how women continue to face violence, harassment & discrimination, our voices silenced and our rights denied.”

She continued, “We are past the time of realisations, we have to go beyond conversations, discussions and bring actionable change. Tomorrow is too late, JUSTICE needs to be served. It’s high time that we look for the right solutions and ensure that we are teaching our children, especially the boys, the true value of a woman. Every woman’s heart is bleeding, let’s strive for real independence.”

Preity Zinta seeks court intervention to block share sale of her IPL team Punjab Kings

In a significant development, Bollywood actress and co-owner of Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Punjab Kings, Preity Zinta, has approached the Chandigarh High Court to prevent the co-owner of the team and businessman Mohit Burman from selling a portion of his shares to a third party. According to reports, Zinta has petitioned the court to stop Burman from disposing off his 11.5% stake in the company, citing a breach of her pre-emption rights under the company’s agreement. The court has issued notices to the respondents, including Burman, and has listed the case for hearing on August 20, 2024.

According to the news report in Tribune, it was stated that, “Preity Zinta said Burman holds approximately 48 per cent of the shareholding and is also on the board of directors. She has filed the petition under Section 9 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act-1996 seeking interim measures and direction in view of the disputes and differences between her and respondent Mohit Burman.”

Zinta, who owns 23% of the franchise, has alleged that Burman has threatened to sell his stake to a third party, prompting her to seek urgent interim protection. The development comes amid reports of a rift between Zinta and Burman, with the actress claiming that Burman has acted in bad faith and disregarded her rights as a co-owner. The Punjab Kings management has not officially commented on the issue. Meanwhile, Burman addressed the matter to Cricbuzz, confirming in their reports, “I don’t have any plans to sell my shares.”

While the case highlights the internal power struggles within the franchise, the court’s decision is eagerly awaited, as it may have significant implications for the ownership structure and management of the Punjab Kings. For the unversed, apart from her and Mohit Burman, the actress’ former fiancé Ness Wadia too is the co-owner of the IPL team.

Vijay Raaz fired from Son of Sardaar 2 after alleged unprofessional behaviour, says Kumar Mangat Pathak

Pinkvilla exclusively reported earlier this week that Ajay Devgn and his team had assembled a large star-studded cast for the comedy caper Son of Sardaar 2, which has begun production in London. We informed our readers that Ravi Kishan, Mrunal Thakur, Vijay Raaz, Chunkey Pandey, Vindu Dara Singh, Deepak Dobriyal, Mukul Dev, Ashwini Kalsekar, Kubbra Sait, and Sanjay Dutt will play key roles in the film. And now, in a startling turn of events, we have exclusively learned from the sets that the producers have decided to take a drastic step by pulling Vijay Raaz from the movie.

According to insiders close to the project, Vijay Raaz has allegedly been harsh with the producers and crew of Son of Sardaar 2 on the set. We asked Kumar Mangat Pathak, who co-produced Son of Sardaar 2 with Ajay Devgn, for a reaction. The filmmaker said, “Yes, it’s true that we have removed Vijay Raaz from the film because of his behaviour on the sets. He demanded for bigger rooms, vanity van and also overcharged us for the spot boys. In-fact, his spot boy was paid Rs.20,000 per night which is more than any big actor. UK is an expensive place, and everyone got standard rooms during the shoot, but he demanded premium suites. When we tried explaining the costing scenario to him, he refused to understand, and spoke rudely. His constant response was, ‘Aap Logo Ne Mujhe Approach Kiya, Main Kaunsa Saamne Se Aya Kaam Mangne’. While we tried to accommodate all his demands, the behaviour kept getting worse, as his demands never ended. He started to demand two cars for a 3 person staff to travel for as well. How can we do that? When the EP said no, he was rude with the EP (Executive Producer). After all the discussions, we decided to remove him from the film.”

Vijay Raaz had a different story to tell. He told Pinkvilla, “I reached the location before time for trial. I reached the van, and Ravi Kishan came to meet me. The EP, Ashish, and the producer Kumar Mangat came to meet me, followed by director Vijay Arora. I stepped out of the van, and spotted Ajay Devgn standing around 25 metres away. I didn’t go to greet him as he was busy, and I continued to speak to my friends around. 25 minutes later, Mr. Kumar Mangat came to me 0061nd said, ‘Aap Film Se Nikal Jaaye, Hum Aapko Nikal Rahe Hai’. The only misconduct from my end is, I didn’t greet Mr. Ajay Devgn. I didn’t even meet the crew, and these are the only people I interacted with. I was removed from the film 30 minutes of reaching the sets, as I didn’t greet Ajay Devgn. These are powerful people, and the chatter of misconduct doesn’t arise at all.”

According to Kumar Mangat Pathak, the problems began in Mumbai when Vijay Raaz signed on for the project. Mangat said, “Ajay Devgn isn’t someone who is waiting to be greeted by people. He always likes to be surrounded by creative people and treats everyone with respect. The story of him being removed for not greeting Ajay Devgn is false. We suffered a loss of at-least two crore for removing Vijay Raaz from the film and we would not take such a step for small matters. His behaviour was a major area of concern and there is no place for disrespect on the sets of our film, as we work like a family. He constantly told all our EP’s and even me that he isn’t in need of doing Son of Sardaar 2, and he is doing it only because we approached him.  He kept demanding bigger room, despite knowing that the rooms cost a bomb in UK. He refused to co-operate. The attitude is a problem and even we didn’t want to associate with a person having such mentality.”

“I’ve always dreamed big, even when people said I couldn’t make it. Becoming famous? Shaking up the glamour world? That’s been my game plan from day one. Trust me, it hasn’t been easy. I’ve had more downs than ups, moments that would’ve crushed anyone else. But I bounced back every single time, stronger and more determined,” said Uorfi Javed. “People have only seen one side of my story, but my life off social media is even crazier: it’s pure drama! I’ve done reality TV before but having my own show has been a dream come true, for which I’m grateful to Prime Video. Follow Kar Lo Yaar is raw, real, and 100% me – unfiltered and unapologetic. You think you know Uorfi? Well, get ready to see the real deal. It’s going to be a wild ride, and I can’t wait for you all to join me!”

Director Sandeep Kukreja added, “Uorfi Javed’s life is an enigma that’s impossible to ignore, and when I was asked to direct her story for Prime Video’s unscripted series, I spent three days following her alone to truly understand her daily life. It was then that I realized this journey would be chaotic, but incredibly exciting. The real thrill—and the true test—was in capturing those unknown and uncontrolled moments of her life, the ones that her followers and the world have never seen. Reality, in its rawest form, surprises us in ways we never expect, and that unpredictability was both daunting and exhilarating to document. I’m thrilled to bring this unique series to life and even more excited that audiences in over 240 countries and territories will experience the magic and mania of Uorfi Javed, discovering that her reality is even wilder than what we see on the ‘gram’.”

“We will get there. Eventually. But what in the interim ? Right now justice would be to put a hard stop to such atrocities. And the only way to do that is a punishment so harsh that it scares the living daylights out of such perpetrators. That’s what we need. Perhaps ? I stand with the victim’s family in seeking justice for their daughter and I stand with all the Doctors that were attacked last night,” his post further read.

Priyanka Chopra took to her Instagram Stories on late Thursday night and reposted a BBC photo from a protest scene. In the picture, a protestor held a sign which read, “Who will speak for her if you don’t?”

Genelia took to her X account and wrote, “Monsters need to be hanged!!! Just reading what the survivor went through sent chills up my spine. A woman, a lifesaver who was on duty faced this horror in the seminar hall. My heart goes out to the family and her loved ones – can’t even imagine how they are facing this tragedy.”
